Located at "Habitat" Matt's residence in South St. Anthony Park along a busy stretch of Raymond Ave. in Saint Paul. With more than 20 native species, pedestrians, bikers and motorists alike can't miss this dazzling garden. Now, with the help of Matt's neighbors, it has begun to expand. Someday, we hope, the entire street's boulevard will be filled with native plants.
